Effect of nuclear mutation in maize on photosynthetic activity and content of chlorophyll-protein complexes

A number of new nuclear mutants have been isolated from maize by selection for high chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence. These mutants show reduced rates of photosynthesis and/or are deficient in Chl. Electrophoretic examination of wild type thylakoid membranes revealed five Chl-protein complexes, two co...
